Apologies for going quiet last week; Chez Nomad was unfortunately hit by a sudden bout of no internet, a big Thank You to the BT engineer who fixed it so quickly on Saturday morning and helped stave off a bad bout of technology withdrawl. Unfortunately, I’m away at a Live Roleplaying Event from Thursday so please be aware of the short hiatus for R2BC as I spend some time with friends and family in a world of our own. 🙂

Back to the here and now, I hope all my muslim friends have enjoyed Eid al-Fitr and are recovering from the stresses of a demanding Ramadan. Brilliant news that the Westgate shopping centre has reopened in Kenya and historic mausoleums are being rebuilt in Mali. Following the theme of hope coming from tragedy my favourite story is the scheme of anti-retrovirals for children of HIV positive mothers. A simple sachet administer orally giving hope. No needles, or blades required, a simple measured dose in something that wouldn’t look out of place with your condiments.

But wait, there’s more. 😀 Enjoy and have a great week.
